Welcome to Classic Photo Images

Traditional black and white photo
materials
produce images with a
classic
"look." But these materials also are known to
last--easily
more than a century.

Computer printouts are getting better, to the
point where it's
difficult to know whether you're looking at a silver image
or sprayed
ink. We believe time will tell, but it hasn't had
a chance to speak
yet. Which is why we produce prints
exclusively in silver-gelatin processed for archival
durability.

The
technical goal is a print rich in
detail, with full tonality and little if any visible
grain.
That's why we work
with medium and large negative sizes, not 35 mm or
digital.
Pleasing overall
composition complements detailed content, producing a
print that
appeals to the viewer from across the room and also
rewards closer
examination. Ample
negative size allows large prints suited to display in
home or
office. Standard sizes range from 5x7 inches up to
20x24 inches,
mounted with mats and frames that typically are a few
inches
larger. Bigger prints are
available
to order.
We invite you to subscribe to the mailing list, to
get
announcements of new images, exhibits, gallery openings,
and other
events--but nothing else.
